The Mind

The Mind

Image by the wonderful Roger Sampson

The keeper of together
stands dead centre
on a dusty mantle
wrapped tightly in muslin layers
In-between death and the boat
sailing out of Hades
carrying only the big things

Lessons.

    “In-between death and the boat
    sailing out of Hades”
    You should write the next album for Panic At The Disco methinks…and that is a HUGE compliment from me because I think they write the best fucking shit since John Lennon!!

    THIS ONE.. well just tickles me gray matter.. I like the wrapping in muslin.. kind of see the matter oozing out between the cotton holes.. but more than that Lisa .. Our sweet little minds do tend to carry such loads.. from hell and back again ..Perfection all the way! XXXo

    When I think of you
    I find
    A muse that stirs me
    To my soul
    And what attracts me
    Is your mind
    A mind that makes
    A like mind whole :-)

  • Lisa Jewell replied

    You are a brave man,
    for there are some that consider my mind
    insane.
    Tis a good thing I am harmless ;)

    sigh I’m so very flattered x x
